A never ending cycle,
continuous tides of change.
Times of gentle growing,
as well as ruthless pain.
Everything is different,
as if seen from another’s eyes.
A new part of me emerges,
even as some other dies.
The pain will turn to numbness,
tears dry from tired eyes.
Blurred vision becomes clearness,
gone are the games and lies.
The future is unfolding,
as the past draws to it’s close.
My choices are now endless,
and as always time still flows...
